A put-down insult used by the untalented people who cannot play instruments intended to somehow "lessen the glory" of the talented, skilled people, but the put-down somehow fails to work every time, contrary to "orch-dorks", a put-down aimed at orchestra people which works every time.
Person 1:"Hey, you're a band nerd!"
Person 2:"Umm, okay weirdo, at least I'm not an orch-dork like you."
Person 1: "Ohhhh that hurt!"

Someone who is obsessed with band (and wants everyone to know it). A band nerd is usually obnoxious about being in band. They have nothing else going on in their life. Don’t confuse this with someone who tries hard in band or a regular member of a school band.

a person with no school activities other than band. A person who talks obsessively about the band and the directors. Usually wears fog dog musicwear shirts and makes odd noises saying it is music. They like to congegate in groups and talk about band. They are usually never alone out of fear of rejection and never wonder far from the band hall they also are very nasty closet freaks in large numbers on the band bus where crazy things happen.

Somebody who played in the elementary school band, where it was something everyone did, but was one of those kids who drop it after 1 or 2 years. However, they stay in band anyway because their crush is a band nerd.
Did you hear about Alli? She's only still playing the saxophone just because Aaron is! What a band nerd-faker!
